Waste disposal in Jaslo, Poland, is constantly improving with a focus on landfilling, recycling, hazardous waste collection, and composting. By segregating recyclable materials and promoting recycling schemes, Jaslo aims to reduce landfill waste and protect the environment. The city council has taken measures to incentivize recycling, leading to a decrease in the amount of waste landfilled and promoting energy conservation. The composting of organic waste further contributes to waste reduction and produces high-quality fertilizer. Jaslo's efforts in waste management demonstrate a sustainable approach towards waste disposal, emphasizing the importance of environmental protection and energy conservation.

The problem of waste Waste disposal in Jaslo is on a good level and it is constantly improved. Unfortunately the main way of disposal is placing it in the landfill. However, some of it is sorted out and then recycled.
Rubbish is collected directly from people’s houses. Sorted out recyclable rubbish is given or sold to various plants where it is recycled.
Hazardous waste... To prevent illegal waste disposal, especially containing hazardous waste, the city council has hired a company that collects hazardous waste, such as asbestos, to specially designated points.
Some citizens were showing moderate interest in recycling. Thus the council introduced more effective methods to encourage people to sort out the rubbish for example by lowering their rubbish collection fees if they participate in recycling schemes.
Nowadays Jaslo has been participating in the recycling programme, and therefore we have decreased the amount of rubbish landfilled. In consequence, we protect our forest and save some of the energy that would be used in production process.
Composting 25 per cent of domestic waste is organic waste doming from our kitchens and gardens. It can be composted which would not only decrease the amount of waste but also produce a fertilizer of a very good quality.
It is necessary to take further action based on limiting the amount of unsorted rubbish that has to be stored on landfills.
As it has been mentioned, Jaslo has been involved in refuse sergregation scheme since 1993. NO! YES!
There is no universal method of neutralising household and industrial waste. Moreover there is no method of complete rubbish neutralisation.Methods based on neutralising unsegregated waste lead to production of new waste products, requiring another treatment. Analogically if we apply a single method of waste neutralisation, only part of waste is neutralised, due to its high diversity.
